Monitoring (SpectrumVue-8)
7.1 Introduction to the NetVue™ SpectrumVue-8
The NetVue™ SpectrumVue-8 is an integrated spectrum analyzer that operates with the Comtech EF
Data NetVue product. Because the SpectrumVue-8 is integrated with and controlled by the NetVue NMS,
you use the native NetVue Cube interface to operate the SpectrumVue-8.
The SpectrumVue-8 has eight input ports. Connect it to as many as eight input feeds through either SMA
(50Ω) or F-type (75Ω) input connectors.
The SpectrumVue-8 views one spectrum (single carrier frequency) at a time. However, using “move and
dwell,” the SpectrumVue-8 takes snapshots from various frequencies and inputs.
The SpectrumVue-8 does two types of spectral monitoring:
• Continuous spectral monitoring for dedicated troubleshooting (dedicated to a single port) or
• “Move and dwell” monitoring of up to eight input feeds, by dwelling long enough to record the
spectrum on an input or frequency, and then moving to another frequency or input
A network may have one or multiple SpectrumVue-8 devices. The SpectrumVue-8 supports IF and L-
Band operation that may be installed in racks in a common area. No dedicated spectrum analyzer is
required if the SpectrumVue-8 is installed.
The SpectrumVue-8 works well for teleports (local and remote) and distributed sites with multiple feeds,
where multiple spectrums must be monitored.
The SpectrumVue-8 is an option that can be purchased with the standard NetVue™ product. For more
details on the SpectrumVue-8, see the datasheet at www.comtechefdata.com.
